You should be fine. Assuming its a standard yard and pretty easy to mow. Not an acre of waist high grass?

Hello, be careful - don't be a fool like I was. I planted all the annual flowers 5 days post op and prayed I wouldn't damage anything.

I would say absolutaly not. I was told nothing over 10lbs for the first 60 days. I am guessing your lawn mower is over 10lbs or are you using a riding lawn mower?

I shoveled and pushed a car that was stuck in the snow 7 days post op.... when you're stuck in a Blizzard you do what you gotta do.

(and had no issues surrounding it.) check with your doc!

My doc said to let pain be my guide. If it hurts....stop. He said that there really isn't much you can do to hurt it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
